Unpacking & Pre-installation

After unpacking your

siren, carefully inspect the unit and associated parts for any damage that may

have been caused in transit. Report any damage to the carrier immediately.

Installation & Mounting

The 3992 series siren control may be mounted above the dash, below the dash, on a tunnel or in a rack with
the mounting hardware supplied (see Fig. 1). Ease of operation and convenience to the operator should be
the prime consideration when mounting the siren and controls

.

NOTE: Setups and
adjustments will be made in
subsequent steps. That may
require access to the rear area
of the unit. Plan the installation
and wiring accordingly.

WARNING!

!

All devices should be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer’s

instructions and securely fastened to vehicle elements of sufficient strength to
withstand the forces applied to the device. Ease of operation and convenience to the
operator should be the prime consideration when mounting the siren and controls.
Adjust the mounting angle to allow maximum operator visibility. Do not mount the
Control Head Module in a location that will obstruct the drivers view. Mount the
microphone clip in a convenient location to allow the operator easy access. Devices
should be mounted only in locations that conform to their SAE identification code as
described in SAE Standard J1849. For example, electronics designed for interior
mounting should not be placed underhood, etc.

Controls should be placed within convenient reach* of the driver or if intended

for two person operation the driver and/or passenger. In some vehicles, multiple
control switches and/or using methods such as “horn ring transfer” which utilizes the
vehicle horn switch to toggle between siren tones may be necessary for convenient
operation from two positions.
